🎬 STArt Short Film Production Program
(formerly First-time Filmmaker Incubator)

We’re supporting emerging filmmakers through:
💰 Direct funding, released in stages
✅ 0% administrative fee fiscal sponsorship
🎥 Theatrical audience outreach — see your work in theaters
🕊️ Creative freedom — no editorial control
🎞️ Real industry connections — festivals, directors, producers, media & more

📌 About fiscal sponsorship:
If your project is approved, we extend our 501(c)(3) nonprofit status to it. This opens access to grant opportunities and allows you to receive tax-deductible donations from individuals or organizations.
We charge no administrative fees and do not take any ownership of your project.
⚠️ Please note: this program does not offer accounting and other financial services.
